Hello guys

Any other people waiting in the Boeing FO pool? It s just to have an idea about the time between the mail and the offer (received the positive mail 2 weeks ago).

Thank you and good luck guys.

I paid for interview coaching from pinstripe solutions. Spent an hour on Skype with a specialist. The questions were not exactly the same, but the answers I prepared for the Pinstripe questions were relevant in the interview. They also helped me present myself well and avoid common mistakes that I have made at other interviews. https://www.pinstripesolutions.com/
(I passed the interview process in November, and was offered a class date in April.)

congrats man! What position did you apply for? How long waiting in the pool?

what KSA stand for ?

It's just some letters. How about "Kick Some Ass"? 😅

Does anyone know if they ask you technical questions before the simulator assessment?

If you mean right before the sim, no. But during the personal interview, yes they do.

Does anyone know if the Coronavirus will impact hiring/ class dates?

Sudden increase of available DECs may have an impact.

Anyone know when they are starting hiring DEC for Boeing again? Thanks

I was patiently waiting for a joining date since I was placed in the talent pool 11 months ago, but unfortunately yesterday, got this email from QR:

”After careful review to the holding pool and the number of projected joining slots, we regret to inform you that we will not be able to offer you a date within the validity of your application.”

Has anyone received a similar reply before?

Which fleet and position did you apply?

A320, First Officer

Anyone thinking of joining, beware.
Terms and conditions frequently change with no discussion and never for the better.
They fly to places and in airspace that most airlines avoid!
They fire people routinely for things that in other airlines might merit a debrief or a sim session.

Think carefully before joining!

Yes, It’s a real eye opener to work without union protection or even the legal rights afforded to most employees in many countries. it was certainly an eye opener for me.

But yes, my friend, that’s how it is,

Before taking ANY contract job it is very important to read all of the fine print, and assume nothing.

If job security is what you are after, “ex-pat pilot” is probably not the right tree to be barking up. , ... But if in spite of your better judgment You still want the thrill of running with the big dogs... (or just need the job), well then, you have to keep up, keep your head down, keep your mouth shut, make friends and allies, don’t step on the other dogs’ paws, and really, just run as hard as you can, for as long as you can...

Believe me. there are plenty of other dogs waiting to join the pack

and we are very replaceable.

Hello all,

Recently submitted an application around mid January with nothing but the standard auto-reply saying the application is being processed. Anyone else in a similar situation?

Did you perform the initial computer based tests? Or have you not received those yet?
In either case it may be to raise a query on the web portal

Me as well;applied at the end of december but not heard anything since,rather than automatic reply..

Coronavirus... 777x delay.. perhaps the folks in Doha are a bit busy .... I think we all need to be patient while these situations unfold...

I know someone working there in recruitment and I was advised to expect no movement until Mar / April for DEC. Had my application in since 1st November '19 and it's still "new" on the application page. Patience is the key I think
